Question

Find the y value for the point that splits segment GH in half if point G is located at (−3, 5) and point H is located at (0, −2).

A)7
B) 3.5
C) 5
D) 1.5

Answer 1

I think it is D

Explanation:

Slope = -7/3 and 1/2 of -7/3 is 1.16 so closest would be 1.5

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B

Explanation:

Given

Co-ordinates of two end points of a line

`G ( -3, 5)\\H (0, -2)\\`

The co-ordinates of the center point of this line are

`(X, Y)\\(((0-(-3))/(2)) ,(((-2-5))/(2)  )\\(1.5, -3.5)`

Thus the y co-ordinate of the line GH is

`-3.5\\`
